My question with all of this is if that be the case how come God's given calendar is a lunar calendar not a solar one, and why also would GOd construct his tabernacle in such a way that everything faced west and away from the sun rather than toward it?
I think I understand your reasoning, but these things do not fit with your reasoning.
Interesting questions Rose. The following quote may answer one of your questions....
- Biblical Hebrew Calendar - Rood Awaking
Has the western Gentile Christian world forsaken God’s calendar?
We are living in the Creator’s universe. The world in which we live is synchronized to His calendar and His time clock. Whether we recognize it or not makes no difference. The Almighty does not spin the world around what we do or do not understand.
The Creator’s reckoning of time is clearly detailed in the first scroll of the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet, the western Gentile Christian world has forsaken God’s calendar. Instead, it has adopted a pagan reckoning of time in which every day of the week and month of the year is named after a pagan god or fallen angel. Days, weeks, months, and years all begin at completely fictitious points in time. Those raised within the western paradigm have no idea what time it is. It is as if the hands have been broken from the face of the clock.
The Creator set the sun, moon, planets, and stars in their courses as an elaborate time-keeping device that has not varied since creation. By it we understand His appointed times and seasons, which enables us to live in harmony with Him and His creation. Our published Astronomically and Agriculturally Corrected Hebrew Biblical Calendar is designed to help those who seek to more fully understand the Hebrew Scriptures – from Genesis to Revelation.
As to your other question, "would GOD construct his tabernacle in such a way that everything faced west and away from the sun rather than toward it" I would have to say 
I dunno.
If you're referencing the following verse it tells us those men were worshipping the wrong way. The east is where wickedness comes from.
- Ezekiel 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
They worshipped the wrong one...the fake from the east.
Good day, WW. interesting as always reading your topics
When I was reading Jer 8:1-3 Where the Lord resurrects the dead for destruction at his coming which are those who worshiped the sun, moon, star which they followed and consulted. He says these will be raised to condemnation Jer 8:20
Somehow all the verses I read in the bible even though the word light is use in translation, this is not what the Lord desires from us, but says plainly those who worship him in this way will be destroyed.
In Jer 8:4 God says to Jeremiah to say to these whose bones are of them who have done these things because of the lying pen of the scribes (Jer 8:8-9) have handled it falsely, those who have the Law.
Our Lord has just said in these verses that the Jews who teach worship of God through the sun, moon and stars, who are called the Scribes and they have the Law are lying scribes.
For centuries the Christian Protestant teachers have trusted in the translations of the Scribes for the Hebrew writings in the bible. Their teaching of the worship of sun is tied into the worship of the Lord and has been taking the Christians purposely away from truth.
exsamples
2 Tim 1:10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality
to light through the gospel,
the word light would better be translated "enlightenment"
James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from
the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
a good verse that gives description of God is Habakkuk 3:4
His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from HIS HANDS where HIS POWER WAS HIDDEN. Plague went before Him; Pestilence followed his steps He STOOD AND SHOOK THE EARTH, HE LOOKED AND MADE THE NATIONS TREMBLE.
God is not the Sun, but the analogy of the Sun is used because of it's brightness, fire and has been the object used to describe the Lord in the bible, though, the lying hand of the Scribes who exist today in Judah, have sun worship to God and it has become infiltrated into our teachings of God. Then we have the proof of Jesus coming in the flesh, and the Jews could not explain this how could God come in the flesh, born of a virgin.
When God is referred to as Light in the bible here is the greek word and the Hebrew word which one must remember all definitions are man inspired by what they understand and this won't do as much as the direct verses in the bible to give us enlightenment.
greek: 5457 φῶς [phos /foce/] n n. From an obsolete phao (to shine or make manifest, especially by rays, cf 5316, 5346); TDNT 9:310; TDNTA 1293; GK 5890; 70 occurrences; AV translates as “light” 68 times, and “fire” twice. 1 light. 1a the light. 1a1 emitted by a lamp. 1a2 a heavenly light such as surrounds angels when they appear on earth. 1b anything emitting light. 1b1 a star. 1b2 fire because it is light and sheds light. 1b3 a lamp or torch. 1c light, i.e brightness. 1c1 of a lamp. 2 metaph. 2a God is light because light has the extremely delicate, subtle, pure, brilliant quality. 2b of truth and its knowledge, together with the spiritual purity associated with it. 2c that which is exposed to the view of all, openly, publicly. 2d reason, mind. 2d1 the power of understanding esp. moral and spiritual truth.
2a make an assumption that God is light "because" light has the extremely delicate subtle pure quality... god is pure in thought, not pure in brightness as these leads us to assume. I like the Logos bible software I use, but they are of the Sunworship God in their understanding because they use the teachings that come from the Scribes handed down to us....we have been lied to by the Scribes, the bible says we have and we need to understand this is true and we need to come out of this teaching and worship the Lord who made the Sun , the star, the moon and earth and us.
If you believe the Lord made the sun then you know the sun is not God. And He sent his son Jesus in the flesh.
In Christ's love
